Suppressing a fire effectively and safely requires using the right kind of extinguisher for the type of fire. Just as anything else is going up, you should know that all fire extinguishers everywhere are going to go up 15% supposedly some time this month.
Fire Extinguishers required to pass VSC (Vessel Safety Check):
Fire extinguishers are required if one of the following conditions exists:
(1) Inboard engine(s);
(2) Closed compartments that store portable fuel tanks;
(3) Double bottom hulls not completely sealed or not completely filled with flotation materials
(4) Closed living space
(5) Closed stowage compartments that contain flammable materials or
(6) Permanently installed fuel tanks NOTE: Fire extinguishers must be readily accessible and verified as serviceable.

Badger's standard range of stored pressure multi-purpose and regular dry chemical fire extinguishers are extremely versatile. They will tackle the majority of fire risks found in most commercial, Marine, industrial and domestic environments.
Badger ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishers utilize a Monoammonium Phosphate dry chemical, the highest percentage of essential base ingredients found in the industry! These are suitable for Class A, B and C fires.
Multi-purpose dry chemical is suitable for use on class A, B, and C fires and regular dry chemical is specifically designed for class B & C fires.
My recommendation is for the ABC.
Now think about this:
Feature 2-1/2, 5, 10 and 20 lb models. Are UL Listed and USCG Approved - meeting D.O.T. requirements. Complete with a six year product warranty.
These 2-1/2# extinguishers can be re-filled for around 9.85, re-certified for about 4.00 for a year. So, you have the initial investment for a 6 year commercial fire extinguisher that will be about the cost of two of the el-cheapo throw away ones, good for only two years instead of six...SAVE. They mount on any surface with the wall hook supplied, or if preferred, can be supplied with optional marine bracket.
Chemically insulates Class A fires by melting and clinging to the heated surface, smothers and breaks the chain reaction on Class B fires and is a non-conductor of electricity.

Email me for MSDS for this product.
The two common marine sizes are listed. If you need a different kind or size just e-mail me.
I will be listing the throw aways, but think what I said earlier. They are half the price but will have to be replaced every year. AND look at the regulations part that says "Fire extinguishers must be readily accessible and verified as serviceable. They are not legal any more because they are not servicable.

The 2-1/2's are going like hotcakes.
